CURTAIN POLE- ANDHANGEE.

A iplication'filed April 21, 1913, Serial No. 762,

To all ctr/10m 4'? may; concern. Y

Be it known that I, \ViLLIAM J. Zm'rLow, a citizen-of the United States, residing at- Cedarburg'. in the. county of Ozaukceand,

Another object of the invention isto pro vide a combined hanger and support of the above character which will possess advantages in points of efliciency and durability, is inexpensive of manufacture and at the same time is simple in construction and operation.

\Vith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction and the combination and ar rangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of a curtain pole and hanger constructed in accordance with my invention and illustrating; the manner of use; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the hanger; Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the hanger; Fig. 4 is a front elevation; Fig. 5 is a cross section taken through the pole; and Fig. 6 is a side elevation illustrating a modified form of hanger.

.Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 indicates the door frame and secured upon each side of the frame and arranged upon the inner face thereof are my improved hangers, each hanger comprising a single piece of material which comprises the body portion 2 having an opening at. one end thereof, as shown at 3, whereby the same may be secured by means of a screw or other suitable means and the inner face of the door frame. Formed integral with the body 2 and projecting outwardly at right angles therefrom are the side portions t, which are arranged in spaced pa allel reation and between which the ends of the curtain pole 5 are arranged. Formed integral with the side portions l at theouter sr'r rarnnrorricn Specification of Letters Patent.

ends thereof are the p supporting arms 6, which project inwardly from the side porthe ends of the pole 5 are mounted. i v

Formed integral with the body 2 at the lower end, thereof is a'rcsilient tongue 7,

which projects upwardly from the bottom of the bodv and is arranged in spaced parallel relation therewith, said tongue frictionally engaging the rend of the pole-f3 to s ecu rely From the'above it will beilfeadily apparent 7 ds of, the pole, o are arranged between :t-he side portions l and mounted upon the armstl, the spring tongues .7 will frictionally until force is appliedthereto.

My improved curtain hanger comprises the pole 5, upon which is mounted the upper ends of the curtains 3., the upper ends of the curtains being passed around the pole and the same secured to the body of the curtain, forming a pocket 9 in which the pole is arrainged. The upper ends of the curtains are securely held against displacementbv means-of a resilient metal guard 9, which is engaged over the upper side of the pole and is adapted to be of sutlicient resiliency to clamp the curtains to the pole thus holding them againstmoven'ient upon the same. i

In Fig. 6, I h'ave illustrated a slightly modified form of support, which is constructed of a single strip of metal, one end of which is secured to the outer edge of the door frame 1, by means of a screw 10 or other suitable fastening 1011115 may be employed, if desired. The strp comprising my, improved form of support is then bent outwardly in a horizontal plane, as shown receiving socket 12. The end of the strip is then bent downwardlv and upwardly. the extreme end ac-inc; arranged above the mouth 13 ofthe SOtiliLt and curved outwardly, as shown at 1st, to form a linger engaging" member. The ends of the curtain pole 5 may be readily inserted within the socket 12 by pressing downwardly upon the finger engaging member 14 which will open the mouth portion 13 and allow the end of the curtain pole to be inserted into the socket, the resiliency of the metal strip closing the mouth 13. after the finger engaging member 14. has been released.

spaced From the above description taken in 001}- nect-ion with the accompanying drawings, it

will be readily apparent that I'have pro-.

vided a simple and durable curtain hanger support whereby curtains of various klnds may be quickly suspended in a door way or 0th similar place or readily removed there om.

It will also .be apparent that when the curtain hanger is arranged in position, the

"same is securely held against accidental displacement, but the same may be readily removed when force is applied thereto.

It .will also be apparent that my device' is extremely simple in construction and can be manufactured at a comparatively low invention into practice without sacrificing any of the novel features or departing from vthe scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:-+

"1. A support compris ng} body portion,

, side porti ns formed in tween the side portions, said'tongue being adapted to engage the end of acurtain pole when arranged between the side portions to securely hold the same in place.

2. A support including a bodyprovided at one end with an opening, spaced parallel side portions formed at the other end of said body and projecting at right angles thereto, supporting arms formed at the outer ends of said side portions, a resilient tongue formcd integral with the lower end of the body and bent upwardly and arranged in spaced parallel relation therewith, said tongue frictionally engaging the end of a curtain pole to securely hold the same in position between In testimony. whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
